Following the popularity of this session in 2025, we’re delighted to bring back Artist Days — a unique opportunity for local creatives to spend dedicated time in our beautiful historic theatre.
Whether you sketch, draw or paint, this is a chance to immerse yourself in the character and atmosphere of our Grade I listed venue, capturing its rich architectural detail and hidden corners at your own pace.
Across two dates, artists will have access to different areas of the theatre, including the Auditorium, Upper Circle, Stage and Understage, offering a range of inspiring viewpoints and spaces to explore.
